one downside for energy companies is that US regulation is a liability shield. once taken away, companies are exposed to liability for harm.

another is that if companies decide to change their operations based on current guidance, they will be exposed to regulatory whiplash and reputational damage under subsequent administrations

Trump irate at own side blowback over his racism

Hours after refusing to apologize for a racist video posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump hadn’t let go.


He spent last weekend complaining to allies about Republicans who had condemned the video depicting the Obamas as apes, questioning the lawmakers’ loyalty and vowing consequences, sources familiar with his comments told CNN.


The president railed against South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott — the sole Black Republican senator and chair of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm — throughout the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, arguing one of his top congressional allies was out of line to call his White House racist, the sources said.


“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN of Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”


Trump had even stronger words for Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, one of the sources recalled, using expletives to denounce her and declaring that she was dead to him

systematic contempt for the law is a Trump 2.0 benchmark

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Yet the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy was illegal.

Yeah, Trump is stunningly far far worse than his first term.

I mean, let's recall that you guys voted for a convict that cried that illegal immigrants were eating pets. How stupid are you?

You guys are still crying about the illegal immigrant Boogeyman.

Trump's attempt to censor slavery exhibits at George Washington's Philadelphia home failed at first brush with the law

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore slavery-related exhibits at the national park site on the foundation of former President George Washington’s home in Philadelphia.

In a withering opinion Monday, Judge Cynthia Rufe invoked George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984,” saying the administration had attacked the concept of truth itself as it sought to erase details of America’s legacy of slavery. She said the removal of the exhibits in January papered over Washington’s ownership of slaves and the special measures he took to avoid those enslaved persons gaining their liberty while he lived in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1797.

“The government here likewise asserts truth is no longer self-evident, but rather the property of the elected chief magistrate and his appointees and delegees,” the George W. Bush appointee wrote. “And why? Solely because, as Defendants state, it has the power.”

“An agency ... cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership,” Rufe declared in her 40-page ruling issued as the nation celebrated Washington’s birthday.

looks like libs are getting the US Chamber of Commerce in the national divorce

the US Chamber of Commerce sued to reverse a rule passed in the waning days of Joe Biden that would've provided the FTC and DOJ An rust more information about mergers and acquisitions

a Trump appointed judge just blocked the rule and FTC is pissed

A U.S. federal judge in Texas on Thursday blocked a rule that expanded the amount of information companies have to turn over when seeking a merger review, saying it exceeded the Federal Trade Commission's authority.


The rule, finalized in 2024, provided an rust enforcers at the FTC and the U.S. Department of Justice withmore information about mergers and acquisitions.

Some dealmakers had scrambled to file for approval before the rule came into effect last February, in order to avoid its requirements. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued to block the rule last year.



U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle in Tyler, Texas, an appointee of President Donald Trump, said the FTC had not shown the rule's benefits would outweigh its costs.


"Though the FTC asserts that the rule will detect illegal mergers and save agency resources, the FTC fails to substantiate these assertions," he wrote.


While the rule was finalized in the waning days of the Biden administration, current FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, who was then a commissioner, voted in its favor, calling it "a lawful improvement over the status quo" at the time.


"We are reviewing the ruling and weighing our options," a spokesperson for the FTC said. "The Chamber of Commerce is a left-wing, open borders supporting activist group.”

In a tariff impact survey to roughly 3,000 small business members from June to November 2025, the advocacy group Main Street Alliance found that 81.5% indicated they may raise prices to offset tariff costs, 41.7% reported they would delay business expansion and 31.5% said employee layoffs were likely if tariff rates remained unchanged.


The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimated as of August that Trump’s tariff policies will cost America’s roughly 236,000 small businesses about $200 billion annually.


Tariffs are taxes paid by U.S. importers to U.S. Customs and Border Protection on goods purchased from abroad.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for a Honduran drug dealer who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine to the US

Last month, Trump cheered a military assault by U.S. forces that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and brought them to the U.S. to face charges related to cocaine trafficking. Maduro, Trump said, led a “vicious cartel” that “flooded our nation with lethal poison responsible for the deaths of countless Americans.”


But when it comes to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was tried and convicted in the U.S. in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison for taking bribes and allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S., Trump has taken a decidedly softer tone.


Hernández, he said, has been “treated very harshly and unfairly” — so unfairly that on Dec. 1, Trump pardoned the former president after he served less than four of those 45 years.


But the federal government’s magnanimity did not end there. On the day he was to be released, records show, Hernández had an immigration detainer — a request for law enforcement agencies to hold noncitizens for pickup by Immigration and Customs Enforcement — in place.


Here, too, the Trump’s administration’s treatment of Hernández differed from its public objectives. Other noncitizens caught up in recent immigration sweeps — the vast majority of whom do not have criminal records — have faced swift efforts to deport them, even to countries where they may face threats. But in Hernández’s case, the Federal Bureau of Prisons scrambled to get his detainer removed so he could walk free.


And Hernández did not just walk out of the prison. Despite persistent budget and staffing shortages, prison officials paid a specialized tactical team overtime to drive Hernández from a high-security facility in West Virginia to the famed five-star Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City, according to records and three people familiar with the situation. Before he left, Hernández was allowed to use the captain’s government phone to talk to the federal prison system’s deputy director, Joshua Smith, who was convicted in a drug trafficking conspiracy before Trump pardoned him in 2021.
“The [prisons bureau] administration rolled out the red carpet for him,” said Joe Rojas, a retired prison worker and former union leader who has been speaking to the media on behalf of staff who fear reprisals for doing so since bureau leaders stopped recognizing the union last year. “The staff are disgusted.”

Sad that it's still less than half that see him that way.

Recap:
He's a convicted felon
He just depicted the Obamas as monkeys
He made jokes about alligators being security guards at Alligator Alcatraz.


Too many Americans still have bought in to: "LOL LOONEY LIB TEARS..SO DELICIOUS" over the last few decades that got us here with no signs of letting up.
